Iron Man 2 - Iron Man Mark VI

It's been a few years since the initial release of these Iron Man 2 movie series figures.Although Chris Mapp reported seeing them recently on the shelves of his local Wal Mart,I haven't seen them anywhere,except for eBay and online toy store  sites. The majority of these have been scalped up and are being resold on ...wait...


..I guess eBay doesn't apply.

I can only assume that the only reason i got these so cheap was because of their packaging being all warped and bent out of shape.Water damage maybe?idk.Luckily the figures seem to be mint in package. 




Taking a look at the figure out of the packaging.I like the stylish figure stand with insert-able armor cards.Always have.As for the figure?I like it alot more than i thought i would.I passed these up many times because 1)the internet was being pummeled with reviews on these Iron Man figures.So much so that it had a reverse effect on me,ultimately leading me to  not wanting to pick  the figure up at all.And 2) Because of the amount of Iron Man stuff being shoveled out onto store shelves everywhere,i though for sure i'd have a chance to pick him up ,if i had  a change of heart somewhere down the line.Now, i'm very happy to finally have a more recent version of Iron Man in my collection.But i have a couple of gripes.       



I don't mind the oversized arm cannon at all.After all,this is Tony Stark,master weapons builder.What i do mind is the height of the figure.I feel like it should be a lot taller.Also,the leg/thigh armor hinders leg movement.Waist articulation would  have also been nice but i guess the articulation in the torso kind of off sets that.Other than those minor glares ,the all around figure is pretty damn cool.In hand the figure just feels great.All of the cuts in his armor and overall glossy paint finish make the Mark VI stand out.Not to mention,i know have a recent  version of Iron Man to fill out the ranks of my movie series Avengers.

    Not for resale? Interesting. Were they part of a multi-pack?

    These came from the Costco 4 (maybe 5?) multi pack that was just the normal carded figures but shrink wrapped and glued into a box / sleeve and sold at slightly lesser price then it would have cost to buy them individually. If memory serves there was one "good" figure in the pack ant the rest were peg warmers.

    ah didn't even notice to start with but on the back of your pack you can see where it had been glued into the box.

    I'm not a huge Iron Man fan, but the figure looks decent. I'm just glad the arm cannon thing is removable. It looks weird ;)

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

Recent Pick Up!

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
